Solution -
Let the age of son be x yrs
So, the age of man be 3x yrs
According to Question,
Difference of their ages = 32
3x - x = 32
⇒ 2x = 32
⇒ x = 32/2
⇒ x = 16
Required Ages -
Son's age = x = 16 yrs
Man' age = 3x = 3(16) = 48 yrs
∴ The present age of Man is 48 years and the present age of Son is 16 years
